I have this Toshiba DVD Recorder last month, I paid $100 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE!

I would never buy another Toshiba - they don't play DVD+R/W

Everyone always asks this, so yes, an upconverter does make videos look better especially when you use the HDMI cable.

Do you need special DVD+R discs to be able to do the upconverting?

oh HD DVD player, is this what they've turned you into? Stripped you of your super cheap high def greatness and forced you to slave away in standard definition. It's a sad day...

Put out computer parts... Graphics cards... Processors

Loved the prairie dog references! From the first scene of the new Indiana Jones movie, I knew something was wrong. Those digi-dogs were an extremely poor choice.

I think W00T is watching. Mine just broke this week. Hmmmmmmm....

I wonder if they are watching?

Can you record what you are watching on tv

I just bought 2 of these for the same price brand new at wal-mart. it has been a great component and i have never had an issue with it. works great on hd & regular digital. gunna have to pass unfortunatley because i dont need a third.

its a good buy for my standards and has been very reliable with no problemos what-so-ever. (just reiterating)

Will it work with my 1971 Magnavox black and white TV with rabbit ears and aluminum foil.

Got one about 3 months ago. Worked for three days and died with DVD stuck inside. Toshiba c.s. was useless. Woot to the rescue w/ refund.

The lack of a tuner makes it almost useless for me. I have a PC to store videos and make DVDs.

Maybe the HDMI cable is worth the price?

HA ... Hmmm .. it could if you got one of them there analog coaxial/rca converter boxes with the A-B-C switches then duct tape the rabbit ears (take of the aluminum foil first)!

I'm assuming this is not a Region free model. If it was, I'd be all over it. Till then I need to stay with my LiteON recorder.

what is the disadvantage of not coming with a tuner?

Just read the specs, will wait for one that does. Thanks!

If you record your TV with a video camera then plug that into this state of the art Toshiba.

PASS Panasonic is the way to go for these. Records and plays ALL formats

This may work, but only if you are using high definition aluminum foil.

a very restricted unit for 65 dollars.......for 15 or 20 dollars more, you can have a tuner, more playback options, media formats, and features.......and it would be new........this is only a deal for those who dont shop around. btw, a six foot hdmi cable costs less than $5.

Hey!! I actually have some of that....WOOHOO!!! I'm buying one now!

How does this compare to the Philips HDMI 1080i upconversion with the usb port for $39.99 at costco, or this one from the philips outlet
Philips outlet

GOOD DEAL FOR THE PRICE!!!!

My vintage Toshiba player does not play PAL. Does this one? Couldn't tell from the Toshiba specs. In fact, it didn't even state NTSC.
SECAM? (just kidding about that one)

"Upconversion." lawl

If I have a TIVO with a receiver can I burn onto DVD what the TIVO has recorded?

Does it work with a Mac?

FYI

Although it actually has a much different use in the public sector, some of the technology within this Toshiba, is what inspired the Mac computer that we all recognize today.

This is why some posters may refer to it as the "Mac Daddy"

I bought this one last time it was available and love it. Works well, no issues, great picutre and sound. Lots of options.

Anyone know if this will upconvert via component cables?? I bought our HDTV four years ago and it does not have an HDMI input - only component inputs for HD.

It could, sort of, but not as well as TiVo "ToGo" software on a Mac or Windows system with a DVD burner.

It looks as if you'd have to record on this Toshiba DVD Recorder as if the Toshiba were a VCR -- convert TiVo digital video back to analog video, then let the Toshiba translate the analog back into digital.

i just wish they'd woot a regular old dvr so I can stop paying the cable company every month for mine..

Actually, I went into the new Indy movie with low expectations. So I liked it. Flying refrigerator? No problem.

Compare? That Phillips doesn't record.
